Your story says, "Sorcery and witchcraft are still very widely accepted in Papua New Guinea as effective and powerful forms of magic, despite many years of exposure to western education and biomedicine."

But, despite many years of exposure to western education and biomedicine, western societies still believe in a god (that resides in heaven) and that a man (named Jesus) rose from the dead, and that a woman named Mary, who it is accepted, gave birth to said Jesus, was at the time a virgin, and that said Mary was made pregnant by said god. And that said god and said Jesus - as well as a raft of humans who have lived since, have healed illness in others through the use of faith, laying hands, uttering incantations...etc, etc. Sounds consistent to sorcery and witchcraft to me.
